THE LATERAL LINE AGAIN.
Aid. Lawrence the Principal Oh.
-.-YeSterday'S Talk.

MISUNDERSTANDING Talk.
At the meeting of the aldermen of the
Seventh and Eighth wards and the
committee on railroads, yesterday after
noon, several members were absent and
Aid Lawrence asked that action be post
pOned, but an informal talk followed for
the benefit of the new aldermen. Aid.
Lawrence objected to the Burgers line,
as it is called, running on Twenty
eighth street, as street car line has
already been ordered on Twenty-sev-
enth street. Mr.. Burgers called the
Twenty-seventh street line ''little
joker" played by the late council for the
purpose of heading off his line.
Aid. Lawrence replied that he OBJ
jected to having three parallel streets
cut up by street ear lines. Aid. Gibson
said he thought Minneapolis possessed
splendid street car service. He knew
of none better in the country. He was
afraid that the Minneapolis Street Rail
way company would be 10th to make the
improvements. Mr.. Burgers made
plea for the right of competition, and
was followed by Aid. Dwyer, who said
the people of the Seventh and Eighth
wards wanted the line, and he an
nounced himself as opposed to exclusive
ITdHcIlSeS. AlQ. LdWTellce UnOuSnC, IL
the franchise was granted, that it
would put an end to the Lowry
extensions. Mr.. Burgers read resolu-
tons adopted by the Trade and Labor
assembly protesting against the Lowry
monopoly. Il. E. Byrnes, attorney for
the Burgers line, showed ON the map
how short line would accommodate
the people in South Minneapolis. Aid.
Lawrence failed to see that the public
would be accommodated at all, and
wanted the Burgers people to select
their line and then get the property
owners to sign petition for it.
Aid. Norenberg-It seems as though we
were here trying to see how we can defend
Tom Lowry's rights.
AID Gbson-I am afraid of Tom Lowry.
Will he make the extensions that we need
outside of the old territory to which he was
given an exclusive franchise? We are here
to consider the benefit of the people.
Mr.. Burgers finally said he would
modify his line so as to turn off Twenty
eighth street and go on out Thirty-first.
Either that or he would canvass the
property owners of Twenty-eighth
street-anything to meet Aid. Law
rence's wishes. The meeting then adj
journed to next Thursday afternoon.

ALL SORTS.

Judge p NJ Janney was quoted yesterday
as saying the GLOBE had made Police Com
missioner Janney out II Republican. This is
mistake. The only thing the GLoBE ever
said about him i'll connection with the COM
mission was that he was business man of
the highest standing; everything in connec-
ton with his politics was quoted from others.
There should be no mistake about these
things. In all probability Judge Janney was
miSquoted.
An estimable First avenue north lady
writes the GLOBE in reference to. Wednes-
day service at the Hennepin Avenue church:
"BiShop FosS preached one of the grandest
sermons ever heard, and Sam Small after
ward made the remarks given in your issue.
Where could the reporters have been during
that grand sermon by Bishop Foss?''
\ large black dog, owned by some one re-
siding near the second precinct police station,
furnishes amusement for by-standers when
there is fire. No matter what he is
doing, the moment the bell on Cataract en-
CINE house rings he takes his stand on Cen
trail avenue and Main street, looking up the
street. AS soon as the engines appear he
begins to prauce, and then when they arrive
where he is, utters one sharp bark and races
madly down the street ahead of them. He
never yet has been known to leave fire un-
til Cataract engine comes back. He follows
this engine and always leaves it precisely
where he joined it.
While Ralph Waldo Emerson was on his
way to California, several years ago, he fell
in with gentleman who was altogether so
Soclable and chatty that an otherwise tedious
journey was rendered as cheerful as you
please. This gentlemans name was Sackett,
and he told Mr.. Emerson that he resided in
San Francisco-this was all the information
he ventured concerning himself, but from his
conversation Mr.. Emerson gathered that his
newly made acquaintance was indeed gen.
tleman of intelligence and standing. Mr..
Sackett pointed out all the points Of interest
along the way, retailed II lot of amusing
anecdotes, and, best of all, was an attentive
listener when Mr., Emerson, fell to dis
coursing upon the Is, the To Be,
the Seeming, and other frothy sub
jects with which his scholarly and sanity
intellect seemed thoroughly conversant.
The natural consequence was that Mr. Elmer
son came to the conclusion that Mr. Sackett
was as charming gentleman as he had ever
met with, anu :. was i'll this positive convic
ton that he accepted Mr.. Sacketts invitation
o dine with him Immediately upon their ar
wal in San Francisco. The next morning
r. Emerson was we'll nigh paralyzed to find
IN all the local papers this startling personal
notice: prof. Ralph Waldo Emerson, the
eminent philosopher, scholar and poet, is in
our city as the guest of Mr.. j. E. Sackett, the
Well-known proprietor of the Bush street
dimesmuseum; matinees every half hour, ad
mission only 10 cents. The double-headed
calf and dog-faced boy this week." Mr.
Sackett is now i'll the amusement business in
Chicago, and he refers to his experience with
the sage of Concord as one of the most profit
able strokes of enterprise in his long and ac-
tive career.-Chicago News.

A Liquor Case Witness-Martin's
ScheduIe-General Court News.

ScheduIe-General Court News.
Eugene A. Bassett. who has made
quite reputation for himself in various
ways, was one of the principal witnesses
for the prosecution in the liquor cases
tried before Judge LOchren. BY his
own testimony he drank some eleven or
twelve glasses of whisky at the various
saloons between the hours of 10 and
II, and yet he said he was not
under the influence of liquor. Then
that much whisky does not make you
full?' inquired the prisoners attorney,
SarcaStically. "WOuld barrel of it
make you drunk?" BasSett smiled and
replied: well, it might, but it would
kill man of your size"

TIT FOR TAT.
The Big Three VS.. the Little Two
in the Police Commission.

The police commission met yesterday
afternoon, but held very brief session,
nothing more being accomplished than
to pass upon the request of Scandina-
Wan society to hold q social dance
Saturday night and to appoint William
Amour patrolman, after he had sub
mitted his second papers for inspection.
The balance of the time was preSum-
ably spent i'll deep thought, after which
adjournment was taken. 1t is
quite apparent that there is Il
deadlock III the commission.
Commissioners Baker, Baxter, Janney
and Hoy voted together for the removal
of thirteen members of the force, and
reduced all the remainder to the level
of patrolmen, after which the captains,
lieutenantS and part of the SargeantS
were appointed. Here halt occurred.
The vote of Mayor AmeS and Commits
Sioner Hoy upon Maj. Henderson for
superintendent resulted in certain reve-
latiOnS. 1t takes four votes to appoint
or dismiss. Commissioner Hoy voted i'll
the negative, and that dished the pro-
gramme. The commissioner and the
mayor also intimated by action, if not
hill to remain as superintendent. The
themselves in this position. They can
not appoint any one on the force, but
they can promote. Perhaps there is no
one they care to promote to the position
of superintendent, and perhaps they
fear the consequences if they promote
any one but Hill. The result might be
that the vacancies now existing on the
force would never be filled, and then
the three commissioners would be
held responsible in the eyes of the
people for crippling the force. There
are certain other complications which
might arise-at any rate the ''big three"
deem it wise to think this time before
they leap. In the meantime it is ru-
mOred that the Democrats of the city
council will request Commissioner Jan
ney to resign, at least that is presumed
to be the purpose of meeting of the
Democratic aldermen, cafled for this
noon at the mayors office. AT all
events, there is to be considerable fun
out of the police commission yet.

THE PARAGON HEATER.
Chief Stetson Talks of the Device
That Made the Fire Department

Trouble.
"Here is something that caused all of
the trouble in the fire department"
Aid. II. G. Morse and Chief Stetson
were standing near the Ahrens engine
at the chemical station yesterday, and
the former addressed himself to GLOBE
reporter near him. He pointed to a
brightly-polished attachment, about the
size and shape of Babcock extin-
guiSher, fastened on one side of the
steamers boiler.
Hand me lOoking-glass."
The chief took the glass and, placing
it under this attachment, the reporter
was enabled to see up into it. A circle
of gasoline burners, each with a low
'There is half-inch coil in this box"
continued the chief" and here you see
it connects with the boiler, above and
below. This is the paragon heater that
occasioned the row in the department,
OH the claim that it injured the boiler.
The idea of it is this: 1t is of the great
est Importance to get up steam at the
quickest time possible, and for that pur-
pose the fuel is arranged to burn very
rapidly. This heater keeps the water
worm in the boiler and greatly facilitates
Steaming, especially in winter time, when
the natural temperature of the water is
at freezing point. The water circulates
slowly in and out of this coil, and is
kept just warm. Now, how can that
hurt the boiler? Why, there was man
here just now willing to insure these
boilers, and if there was anything
wrong he would not do that. What l
know is, that it is great point to have
the water so that steam may be quickly
raised, and under the circumstances l
think it is advisable to use it, and 1
think the city could use it even if it
Should use up boiler every three
years"
Aid. Morse conceded with this view
and said: Il have been wanting Stet-
son to give his version of this thing"

LIKE CLOCKWORK.
So the Fire Department Moved at
the Annual InspectiOn,

30 the fire department. moved at
the Annual Inspection.
Six shining black horses pranced
and caracoled through the streets yes
terday, drawing the vehicles in which
were seated the members of the COM
mittee on fire department and the chief
engineer. 1t was annual inspection day.
From station to station the blacks barbs
pranced, and each was inspected in turn.
Everything was i'll apple-pie order.
The fire laddieS were immaculate in
navy blue and clean shoes and the sheen
OF their silver buttons and ebony shoes
was only matched by the brilliance of
the brass and silver work of their flame
fighting appliances. Whenever the six
somber StepperS drew up to station, in
went the crowd to observe the maneu-
vers of the force, and without exception
it was an interesting sight to see. The
men were drawn up in line with their
physique and personal appear
ance carefully inspected. This
concluded, they took their stations about
the house and Chief StetsOn pressed a
black button near the gong; SonOrouS
note on the bell followed; with click
the stall gates flew open and five heavy

SELVES in position to he hitched up. The
men had sprung to their places and in
four seconds the snaps had been sprung,
the men in position and the engines
were ready to go out. On standing
hitch two seconds and half were suf-
ticfent time to get everything ready.
The snaps were released and at a
whistle the horses wheeled and rushed
back to their stalls. The test was most
satisfactory.
The men then went to their sleeping
apartments above, leaving one in charge
below. Again the gong sounded; out
came the horses and down the smooth
poles the men tumbled. In precisely
twelve seconds the snaps had been
sprung, the men mounted and the EN-
gines ready for start, while the crowd
applauded vociferously. The inspection
lasted during the day and was eminently
satisfactory. Every man was in his place,
and every piece of machinery could have
been brushed with a silk handkerchief
without soiling it. Several changes will
be suggested by the committee, which
will report the result of it's trip to the
council to-day

AID FOR IRELAND.
A Systematic Effort to be Made to
80 Raise Funds.

81 The committee appointed at the mass
meeting at Harmonic hall to solicit con-
ltributiOns of Irishmen to the anti-evic-
ton fund met at Window hall Wednes-
day evening and determined to prose-
cute the work theoretically. A special
appeal is made to the matrons of the
Irish race for aid. Father McGolrick
was appointed treasurer of the fund, and
sub-cOmmittees were appointed to wait
upon tile pastors of the several congre-
cations in the city and enlist their in
terests. The committee thoroughly rely
upon the patriotism of their countrymen
for substantial fund creditable to Min
neapolis as a city and help to the
cause. The committee will rely upon
the generosity of their Irish fellow citi-
zens, without regard to the attraction of
fairs or theatrical performances. An
adjourned meeting of the soliciting COM
mittee will be held next Wednesday
evening at Window hall.

A QUEER FREAK.
An Aged Mother-in-Law Marries
Her Divorced SOn-in-Law.

HALEY, Tenn, May 5.-Quite a SEN
sational wedding occurred near here.
James Smith some months ago married
a daughter of widow lady living near
here by the name of Teat. She being a
poor woman, everybody said it was a
good bargain for her, as Smith was con-
sidered at that time an industrious man.
They lived together peacefully for a
month OF so when their connubial bliss
faded away. They separated, she going
her way and he his. A divorce was APP
piled for and granted at the last session
of court. Several weeks ago Smith again
came into the neighborhOOd, and seemed
to hover around the scene of his with
cred affections. They were again
aroused, but this time they were CEN
tered in the mother of the daughter that
was once his lawful wife. Their love
was cOnsummated, and the widow and
her former Son-in-law were made man
and wife. She is about twice his age.

EaRNHARDT AS CAMILLE.
n Big Audience Pretends to Enjoy
1t Hugely.

1t Hugely.
A second large and fashionable audi
ence filed every nook and corner of the
Grand last evening and pretended to be
royalty enthuscd over the superb pre-
scntation of Dumas "Camille''.by Sarah
Bernhardt. That the play was very
slril;ingly given, there is no doubt, but
it is exceedingly doubtful II even that
cultured audience enjoyed and appreci-
;ltcd it as they assumed to do. 1t Is the
fashionable thing to pretend to enjoy q
play that is entirely in French, and of
which not two of every hundred present
can understand dozen words. To those
who are perfectly familiar with the play
il is possible to follow the great French
actress through the terrible emotions OF
Camille and TO extract some little en-
ioyment, but it is very little.
Even q passably fair French student
finds it impossible to keep up with thu
torrent of language that passes ~
French volubility from the lips of IL
players. TO others it is simple jars
and much as they pretended to II
and appreciate the artistic pow r.
Bernhardt. down in their hearts
regarded the whole thing as inefTaDle
nonsense. There is no doubt Camille
was brilliantly played by Bernhardt,
but the audience received the fine points
in silence born of bliSsful ignorance
and then Numbered out applause whsp
the curtain descended. This is II H.
and it is fashionable, but it is very nom
